Due to various security measures and in case of doubt, the security officials would need to open bags without the presence of the guest. In case, the baggage is locked using regular locks, security officers would be forced to break them open. This may cause inconvenience to the guest and may be a hindrance to baggage security for the onward journey. Therefore to avoid loss and further issues, the Transport Security Administration requests guest travelling to the US to utilize TSA approved locks that can be opened by security officers using universal "master" keys so that the locks do not have to be cut. These locks are available at airports and travel stores nationwide. The packaging on the locks indicates whether they can be opened by the Transport Security Administration.

The U.S. Department for Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health inspection services (USDA - APHIS) has prohibited the entry of non-commercial shipments (including passenger baggage and mail) containing soyabeans, chickpeas and safflower seeds from countries including India where Khapra bettle (Trago derma grananium) is known to occur.

The IATA standard dimension of permitted cabin hand baggage is 22 inches (56 cm) in length; 18 inches (45 cm) in width and 10 inches (25 cm) in depth. Guests carrying hand baggage exceeding these dimensions will not be permitted to pass through Central Security Search.

Passengers will have to return to the airline’s check-in counters to check in the hand baggage or repack them into smaller hand bags. No exemption will be permitted. Each passenger is restricted to carrying only one item (in addition to the re-sealable liquids bag) through the airport search point. Musical instruments will, as an exception, be allowed as a second item of cabin baggage, but will need to be screened and passengers should check with their airlines for special arrangements (e.g. purchasing an extra seat) to carry these large instruments. For passengers checking in from all UK domestic flights onwards to any international flights, baggage gauges (with the stipulated size) have been placed at strategic locations to measure the size of cabin baggage. Passengers will not be permitted to carry the cabin baggage which does not fit the gauge size.

The cabin baggage policy will apply to all terminals, all airlines and central areas only. The policy will not be applied in the Flight Connections Centre, Terminal Transfer Search Areas, Staff Search or Control Posts.
